Aquatic Science Academy at Togiak National Wildlife Refuge

A participant in the Aquatic Science Academy at Togiak National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska. For the past two decades, Alaska’s National Wildlife Refuges have worked alongside local communities to provide science and culture summer camps for rural youth. During these camps, students spend time outside exploring their wild backyards with teachers, mentors and elders, while gaining a better understanding of natural resource issues impacting their lives, and practicing cultural traditions with guidance from village elders.
